(Taken from the diary of a mad ADD patient)

I can’t go on like this anymore! I drop things, I lose things and sometimes I don’t know whether I am coming or going. Life for me ain’t been no crystal stairs, and if it was I would have probably broken them by now. Everyday I feel like I am losing more control. It seems like my boss has singled me out, though honestly, every complaint she has is valid. I was sure I placed those documents in the top drawer. Once again, I lost something else. Let’s not even talk about organization. If I could, I would. My desk is an albatross. My staff is complaining because I have not done their evaluations. Something has got to give. You would probably be mad at me too, if I were holding up your raise.

I have got to do something. The judge told me that if I receive one more ticket, they will have to suspend my license. I did not mean to rear end that elderly couple at the stop sign. My marriage is also being affected by this disease (ADD). I cannot remember my own birthday much less anyone else’s. I wonder if my children hate me. I have tried a couple of medications but I just could not remain compliant. The pills help in the morning, but by noon, I am worthless. Somebody please help me.

Now, I am about to lose my job. My marriage is awry. The kids wish I were dead. I am always thirsty and there seems to be no help for me. Is there therapy for this soul? Will the newer agents help? Is there a competent Psychiatrist who can help me? Come on, I don’t want to give-up?
